About this statute

This is Law 403 of 1997, which establishes incentives for voters. Voting is a citizen right and duty, and authorities must recognize, facilitate, and encourage voting participation. People who vote can receive several benefits, including preference in ties, reduced military service time, tuition and document discounts, and passport fee reductions. The national government must also support official higher-education institutions that give the election discount. El ciudadano tiene derecho a media jornada de descanso compensatorio remunerado por el tiempo que use para cumplir su función como elector. La abstención electoral puede justificarse si el interesado prueba, dentro de 15 días tras los escrutinios municipales, que no votó por fuerza mayor o caso fortuito.
